''Bilingual'' is the tenth album (music)album, the sixth of entirely new music, by the United KingdomUK electronic music group Pet Shop Boys.''Bilingual'' exhibits continuing changes Pet Shop Boys began making to their music with the album ''Very (album)Very'', in particularly more heavily instrumented arrangements and more backing vocals. As suggested by the title, the songs on the album have worldwide influences, particularly from Latin America. After the release of their ''Very'' album, Pet Shop Boys toured South America and were influenced by the beats and rhythms associated with Latin American music. Three of the songs have bilingual lyrics, mixing the English language with Spanish languageSpanish and Portuguese languagePortuguese.''Bilingual'' never achieved the popularity of ''Very'', although the singles acheived success with three of them reaching the UK top 10, with the album going on to sell 1.5 million copies globally.In 1997, Pet Shop Boys decided to perform a series of concerts at the Savoy Theatre in London. To promote the concerts they decided to release a cover version of "Somewhere" from West Side Story and to call the concerts "Pet Shop Boys Somewhere". The single reached the UK top 10, and ''Bilingual'' was re-released as a "Special Edition" including the new single and a bonus CD of unreleased remixes and b-sides.In 2001, Pet Shop Boys re-issued their first six studio albums, and ''Bilingual'' was rereleased as ''Bilingual/Further Listening 1995-1997''. The re-released version was not only digitally remastered but came with a second disc of B-sides and previously unreleased material from around the time of the album's original release.
